Soft and cozy landing
An innocent’s sweet abandon
Dreaming on my chest
Hands resting on my neck
Nothing like youth’s rest

How does one so little
Know how to hug so well?
The heaviness is lovely
I’d bottle up your smell
Feel your soft dips up and down
Inhale, exhale

The world outside these walls is swirling
But right now all is well

I wish I could replay this scene
for all my years
When someday I’m remembering 
With haunting, grateful tears

If I squeeze you longer 
Can I hold it?
Or re-inhabit my body later,
in this moment?
Whenever I please.

Always here
Should you need a soft landing of peace
